CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS Senior students in Shelly Chandler’s English class at Marshalltown High School research aspects of the Holocaust on Friday. Chandler believes it is important not to hide history from young minds.
Surprisingly high numbers of millennials and Generation Z Iowans have little to no knowledge of the Holocaust. Results from a recent survey by the Claims Conference was released after information was gathered from each state in America.
According to that information, 65 percent of the surveyed people in Iowa did not know 6 million Jews were slaughtered, and 41 percent were unable to name a single concentration camp.
